my young love said to me
my mother won´t mind
and my father won´t slight you for your lack of kind
then she stepped away from me
and this she did say
it will not be long love till our wedding day

she stepped away from me
and she moved through the fair
and fondly i watched her moved here
and moved there
then she made her way homeward
with one star awake as the swan in the evening moves over the lake

i dreamt it last night
that my dead love came in so softly
she moved that her feet made no din
then she came close beside me
and this she did say
it will not be long love till our wedding day
